“He Leadeth Me”, by John Thomas Mawson,
There is melody in this sentence. The heart can sing it, and does. For it enfolds in its short compass of three words the tender pity, the intimate care, the personal love of the Lord to me. I am an object of interest to Him; He has a destiny in view…

Held up on the Waves, by John Thomas Mawson,
Let us recall a wonderful story told in the Gospels. It was night and the disciples of our Lord were afloat upon the Sea of Galilee. He had remained upon the quiet mountain-side in prayer to His Father, and we are sure that His disciples had a place in His…

He Dwelt Among Us, by John Thomas Mawson,
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us … full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). What an amazing fact is revealed to us in this short sentence. He who WAS when time was not, at whose fiat the pendulum of time began to swing, who set all…

Hallelujah!, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Let every thing that has breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord: ” so ends the last psalm, and therein is presented to us the result, as far as the earth is concerned, of the coming of the Lord into it. He is the blessed Man of the first…

Great Substance, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Afterward shall they come out with great substance” (Genesis 15:14). They were to be greatly afflicted, these children of Abram, to pass through a horror of great darkness, in fact, yet the end of it would be great substance. “THEY SHALL COME OUT.” They were not to be annihilated or…

Great Proofs of the Love of God, by John Thomas Mawson,
(A short article using framework from some notes by the late J.B.Stoney) The love of Christ is unchanged and unchanging. Indifference and coldness of heart on our part does not diminish the force of it at all. John did not get orders to write the 17th chapter of his Gospel…

Greater Than Jonah, by John Thomas Mawson,
They were great men whose deeds for God are recorded in the Old Testament Scriptures, and not the least among them was Jonah. He was a prophet with an extraordinary experience, and a ministry of unparalleled power. He had been thrust down into the very “belly of sheol” and had…

Great Contrasts in the Revelation, by John Thomas Mawson,
1. The Lamb Slain and the Four Horses of Chapter 6 None but an inspired pen could have portrayed the scenes revealed to us in chapters 5 and 6 of the Revelation. How tremendous is the contrast between them! In the former a great joy and the thunders of a…

The Great Conflict, by John Thomas Mawson,
Some of us thought when we turned to the Lord Jesus Christ, and received through Him the forgiveness of sins, that all would then be quietness and rest until we reached our home in the glory of God. But we have been undeceived, for when a man turns to Christ…

Grave Clothes or Angels in White, And Grace and Truth, by John Thomas Mawson,
Peter and John looked into the tomb of Jesus and saw only the linen clothes lying, the wrappings of death. Mary looked into that same tomb and though her sight was bleared with weeping she saw what they had not seen — two angels in white sitting, one at the…
-
Grace and Love, by John Thomas Mawson,
We are comparing the Gospels, chiefly Luke’s and John’s. Luke was a Gentile and wrote his Gospel for a Gentile. It shows the riches of God’s grace overflowing all bounds, and blessing sinners of every sort. In the closing scenes that same grace is active on behalf of the Lord’s…

Gospel Facts, by John Thomas Mawson,
A Sunday Evening Address “And he said to them, These are the words which I spake to you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened…

Good Works, by John Thomas Mawson,
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, CREATED IN CHRIST JESUS UNTO GOOD WORKS, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them”…

Goodly Trees, Palm Branches, Thick-Leaved Trees, and Willows of the Brook, by John Thomas Mawson,
We will begin the year with a consideration of God’s words to us and His ways with us. Here we shall find cause for thanksgiving for the past, and great encouragement as we face the future. Retrospection and anticipation, memory and hope shall yield from their treasures what should surely…

“God that Justifies”, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Who shall lay anything to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifies. Who is he that condemns? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, Who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us” (Romans 8:33-34). What comfort,…
-
God’s Work and Our Part in it, by John Thomas Mawson,
God’s work is being done in this world and a record is being kept in heaven as to all those who are taking part in it, what they are doing, how they are doing it; and what the motive is that lies behind their labour. This is at once a…

God’s Triumph, by John Thomas Mawson,
Ephesians 2 This is one of the greatest chapters in the Bible. It begins by describing the condition of moral death in which we were in our unregenerate nature, and at the end shows us ourselves, saved by the grace of God, fitly framed together with all who are saved…
-
God’s Triumph and the Devil’s Defeat, by John Thomas Mawson,
How the devil must hate the Epistle to the Ephesians; he will certainly keep us from reading it if he can, for in no part of the Bible is his complete defeat so thoroughly exposed, and the riches of God’s grace so fully revealed. It may be the knowledge of…

God Speaking, by John Thomas Mawson,
God at sundry times and in diverse manners spake in times past to the fathers by the prophets, but all His speaking seemed to be in vain. “I spake to you,” said He to His people, “rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but…
